Historical sites and artifacts impress foreign experts
Participants of the "Exploring China" Henan Tour admire a bronze ware at Henan Museum in Zhengzhou city. More than 40 foreign experts in classical studies from 13 countries visited Henan's heritage sites, Longmen Grottoes and the Yinxu Museum, immersing themselves in the rich Chinese culture and civilization. "I'm excited to visit China for the first time, and I plan to travel to China again with my family, to see more of its deep culture and history," says Michael Trapp, emeritus professor of Greek literature and thought at King's College London. "I've read about all these places, but it's the first time to see various artifacts about the origins and downfall of the Shang Dynasty and the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty," he says. Mary Evelyn Tucker, a senior lecturer and research scholar at Yale University, says: "It's exciting to have this cultural tour to Henan and see that China is recovering its own traditional past.
